I'm working on an Angular project that makes use of a variable called WEB_HOST
. I can see in another file where the variable is defined (it's somehow defined in a class called ProjectConfig
).
Definition (simplified):
export class ProjectConfig {
WEB_HOST = 'https://example.com'; // I didn't think properties could be assigned here?
constructor() { ... }
}
Now, from a completely separate *.ts file, this obviously doesn't work:
let x = WEB_HOST; // x is undefined
However, in the same file, some existing code manages to access the variable's value by using a bizarre string interpolation:
let x = `<%= WEB_HOST %>`; // x == 'https://example.com'
What is going on here? I've never seen this <%=
syntax before. Is it part of Angular? Typescript? I haven't been able to find any documentation on what it does.
I also don't know how it manages to get a property out of ProjectConfig
(and I'm not sure it's a class property either... the definition being outside of any class function confuses me too).
So, this is ASP Tags.
If you take a look at the following from w3schools. https://www.w3schools.com/asp/showasp.asp?filename=demo_syntax_tags
You will see that it is used in the HTML for templating. It can also be used I believe in other files as it is processed on the server before the client application runs on your browser.
HTH
Looks like ERB, a Ruby templating engine that Ruby on Rails uses. https://codingbee.net/tutorials/ruby/ruby-the-erb-templating-system
Others have mentioned that various languages use <%= some_code_here %>
for templating.
Regardless of what language is processing it, I imagine your .ts file runs through some server side framework, that will put some string value in place of WEB_HOST, and then the .ts file will be transpiled to JS.
You could try this way on HTML file
{{window.location.origin}}
if it doesn't recognize the window variable we might need this in ts file
declare const window;
